Make Cool Stuff: The Nerdist Podcast Edition!

Hi, friends! If you’ve listened to episode #126 of the podcast, you’ve learned the origin story for my column on this site. That’s right, I spent several months worth of rent in a charity auction so that I could sit in on a recording of the Nerdist podcast—and in the process of corresponding with Chris, talked my way into a column. Let me tell you: Worth. Every. Penny. It warms my little fan-girl heart to inform you that our intrepid nerd heroes are just as nice in person as they sound in our Tweaked Audio earbuds. (See how I did that? I’m shilling for the man now.)

Because my column here is about Making Cool Stuff, I wanted to share with you the projects I made for the guys, as a means of inspiring you to make your own nerd-tastic projects:

Clockwise from upper left, we have the Doctor Who/James Bond logo mash-up, done in basketweave stitch; a Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead done in back stitch and satin stitch on Aida cloth; and a Star Trek: The Next Generation Enterprise in felt with embroidery.
